IN THE CHAIR

Showcalling and vMix

That combination is rare. It also solves a very common live-event problem: the showcaller sees one version of the show, the vMix operator sees another, and the stream gets whatever survives the handover. I sit closer to the whole machine. Cameras, graphics, speakers, remote guests, lower thirds, stream, audience view. All of it has to line up.

WHAT THIS COVERS

04Camera direction, shot calling and crew briefing
05Remote presenter integration via vMix Call, Zoom, Teams, SRT or return feeds
06Lower thirds, holding states, stings, replay moments and graphics playback

08Clean show rhythm: no dead air, no mystery cuts, no graphics arriving after the moment has gone

Process · in the chair

  1. Dates, venue, scope

    Send dates, a venue and a rough scope and I come back with a clear plan in one working day — which role(s) I take, whether one position can cover comms and vMix, and where a second operator is needed.

  2. Scenes & cue list

    I build the vMix scenes, inputs, NDI routing, replays and graphics, and write the cue list with the director. Remote contributors get a tested join path before the day, not on it.

  3. Calm cut, clean stream

    On headset with the director from the first walk-through. I cue the room and cut the cameras, keeping the in-room IMAG and the stream both clean, with remote presenters made to feel part of the room.

  4. Outputs & handover

    Clean recording and stream outputs handed over, plus notes for next time. Day-rate, project-rate and retained support depending on scope.
